"It is like cloud watching and cloud riding. It is enjoyable
and exhilarating. Anyone who is flying the weather modification should able to
comprehend the nature, environments, weather, the clouds, cloud physics, some of chemistry, as
well as the real flying."
"When the day is fresh, bright, shine, very dry and crispy, nice and cool with clear blue sky it's a good day for most people to enjoy all outdoor activities. But it's absolutely a bad day for all rainmakers especially when more rain water is much needed." ?!!! We actually love hot sun, warm, and humid days, unstable air, convergence of wind, with a lot of scattered convective clouds all around as well as those with high altitude super-cooled tops."

Overviews:
The methods of weather modification, by the use of different
techniques of ground and airborne operations with various kinds of small
amounts of non-toxic agents or substances dispensing them into the atmosphere
in order to modify weather, have long been known and is continuously being
applied and carried out in numerous places around the world to improve weather
conditions in which each operation yields intended result at some certain
levels in areas larger than microscale
up to possibly near medium mesoscale or less. Some techniques are also well
documented and patented.
The objectives shared are to assess, evaluate and to be more
certain of what we do and know presently and to learn more of new things for
newer assumptions and hypothesis regarding atmospheric science and to spend
more effort to increase more fresh water resources, as there are even more huge
demands nowadays, by means of weather modifications to increase snow-fall,
rain-fall, and also to possibly stop or mitigate destructive adverse weather
conditions of fog, haze, smoke, dust, hail, rain and other severe storms in
some circumstances and cases. All methods are certainly invented for greater
benefit of all mankind in general.
Flight Operations on Royal Rainmaking Technology
Under
patented Royal Rainmaking Technology there are six summarized techniques which
can be described as follows:
Long Live His Majesty King Bhumibol
Royal Rainmaking Technology
STEP 1 : Triggering - Upsetting
In
general when the average RH is over 60 percent from ground up to about 15,000
feet MSL then cloud seeding would be done by air spraying-dispensing flying at
approximately 5,000 – 8,000 feet of the altitude near lifted condensation level
and convective condensation level releasing, calculated certain amount of about
1,000 kilograms – the more the better, of hygroscopic endothermic substance of
sodium chloride in form of fine and dry powdered sea salt, of 30 microns up,
the Formula 1, 25-30 nm track-miles normally perpendicular straight line to the
wind and upwind is flown, at calculated distance from intended target -
catchment, where there are good heat from the sun as well as good natural
soaring and existing strati-form clouds if there are any that have already
formed up.
The whole
process is to allow F1 rain-making substance to absorb more water vapors and to
act as more CCN cloud condensation nuclei(s), or the building blocks of cloud,
in the atmosphere.
STEP 2 : Triggering through Fattening
This is
the process which normally happens approximately around 30 minutes or more
after the first step of triggering when RH in the air is still high and the
heat from the sun gets stronger resulting in good formation through development
of the clouds. The rain-making substances used are calcium chloride – Formula 6
or calcium oxide – Formula 8 which are both hygroscopic exothermic substances.
The
process is to make the clouds develop upward as good rain clouds powered by the
substances in addition to the clouds’ own latent heat according to the theory
of science of cloud physics and atmospheric modification.
STEP 3
: Sandwich Fattening through the
Sandwich Attacking:
Now by
the use of more Formula 1 Sodium Chloride as well as Urea the hygroscopic
endothermic substance the Formula 4 both grounded to 30 microns up and in form
of dry powdered substances spraying simultaneously into the Cumulus and
Cumulonimbus clouds the clouds would then develop well more intensified to
become larger Cumulonimbus clouds with even higher top. The flight path to be
flown would be at about 10,000 feet for the first leading aircraft dispensing
Formula 1 in close proximity to the clouds near their tops, upwind, and around
- along them.
The
number 2 aircraft flying at about 45 degrees under keeping behind and below
following the lead using altitude approximately 7,000 feet dispensing Formula 4
simultaneously in close proximity to the clouds just near and above their bases
the clouds would then, the same way, develop well more to become wider
Cumulonimbus clouds with more larger, intensified, and darker bases.
This is
the process of what is called rain cloud development enhancement for
precipitation increment by adding more fuel of rain elements to the clouds.
STEP 4
: Post Step 3 Attacking:
One or
both aircrafts carry Formula 3 of frozen carbon dioxide the dry ice that is
well crushed into very small minuscule chipped-flakes for the amount of about
1,000 kilograms or more is used to attack the rain clouds to enhance the
precipitation and to also make the clouds yield rain over decided rain target
and water catchment areas.
This
extremely super cold agent would trig the condensation of intensified
cumulonimbus clouds by anticipating in decreasing the atmospheric temperature
to well below the clouds’ dew point as well as sinking their bases as the
air-mass becomes much cooler and dramatically shrinks or compressed. The flight
path would be underneath according to where intensified dark rain clouds are
presenting.
The
altitude used is about not less than 500 feet down to not more than 1,000 feet
below cloud bases underneath them. If the turbulence is too strong then the
flight path may be diverted to be around and along the cloud bases’ sides but
should still be in near proximity with the same limitation of distances.
Step 5 : Separated Operation on Super Cooled Clouds
This is
the step that pressurized aircraft is used to do the job. The aircraft is
equipped with apparatus for super cooled cloud rain enhancement operation.
Besides laden computer on board and its external probes, the silver iodide
flare guns are installed at aircraft’s wings.
When
there is a presence of large cumulonimbus rain cloud with its top approximately
higher than, in general above freezing level, 21,500 feet. The aircraft is
flown into very top part of the cloud to measure and obtain data such as up
draft inside top half section of the cloud which should be about 1,000 feet per
minute as well as temperature which should be at least between minus 8’ c. and
minus 12’ c. and with the presence of super cooled water vapor droplets of at
least 1 gram per cubic meter.
When the parameter is correct then silver
iodide flare would be shot right into the cloud about its top part to increase
rainfalls as ice forms up inside the cloud and finally melts at warmer
temperature of lower altitudes than freezing level even more dramatically.
The
operation if done at early time before the cloud develop into perfect
cumulonimbus thunder storm is as well called “over seeding” which is also known
as weather damage mitigation technique of weather modification.
STEP 6
: The Mobilized Super Sandwich Operation
The
technique is the operation involved at least three aircrafts engaging step 3
and step 5 at the same time. With the presence of very large cumulonimbus rain
cloud three aircrafts fly simultaneously to feed more rain element fuels of
different rain making substances into the cloud. This is the operation that
could enhance rainfalls very successfully and enormously.
Another
aircraft can also commence step 4 alone in the same time or in replacement of
chipped-flakes dry ice - the frozen carbon-dioxide substance by instead using
two kinds of rain making substances in mixture for example, powdered sea salt
or grounded Urea in a mixing with chipped-flakes dry ice.
In this
case the flight path flown would be in the same manner as the number 2 aircraft
in step 3 flying under and behind the lead at higher level while the most top
aircraft working above freezing level of the cloud using silver iodide flares
in step 5.
Other Techniques :
There
could be a lot of chances for orographic clouds to form up over the mountainous
ranges when weather modification for rain-making operation is done in such a
kind of topography. In this case the task would be aimed to upset or trigger
the equilibrium or stability of the air mass right above the top of those
clouds to make them develop more upward to eventually become rain clouds. Rain-making
substances used would be both hygroscopic endothermic of F4 the Urea, as well
as hygroscopic exothermic of F6 the Calcium Chloride or F8 the Calcium Oxide
substance in which the first and the two latter kinds when absorb humidity they
would cool off and heat up the atmosphere respectively along the zigzagging
flight path. Aircrafts engaging in the operation, the number 2 following behind
can also fly up and down and around the rain-making substance contrail cutting
across but keeping clear of dust from the first leading aircraft.
